I'm a twenty-something year old in a city and an industry where fabulosity is EXTREMELY important. I love to write (ask my friends who receive my e-mail novellas everday), hang out with my buddies, and...SHOP! I'm absolutely, positively addicted. I'm the type of person who'd rather have a cute dress than a balanced meal, would rather spend a Saturday in Soho stores than sunning, and would take shoes over security. When people are carrying shopping bags full of clothes, all I want to do is ask them 'What'd you buy???' I get excited over fashion magazines like Lucky (just clothes, no talkie), and watch TLC's 'What Not To Wear' religiously (and have written TLC letters many times asking to have reruns during the week, not just Friday nights!). Anyway, I've always been a connoisseur of fashion if I may opine...since the days of my plaid skirt suits, knee highs, and Mary Janes in Junior High to Satin Tops and Bootcut Jeans in High School. I'm also big into designer brands. Why? For the most part, designer brands deliver high quality, durability, and tailored fits.

So many magazines, websites, and catalogues feature items that are beyond the price range of the average working woman. There are tons of stores (brick and mortar and online) that have one of a kind, designer pieces at low prices! You just have to find them!

I'll try to do a little of the legwork for you. Come along with me as I search for bargain cute pieces, investment items, and everything in between!

Started in August 2006 by journalist Claire Sulmers, The Fashion Bomb provides daily doses of chic to stylistas of color. Recognizing there were few print and online sources for urban fashion, Claire took her interests in style and writing to create an online destination earmarked for sassy sirens with a passion for fashion.

500,000 monthly visitors log on to The Fashion Bomb for its fresh
takes on fashion news and stories, along with its boutique spotlights,
fashion show reviews, trends, parties, celebrity looks for less, and tips on how to break into the industry
from the best in the business.

In October 2008, Claire moved to Paris, France to draw inspiration from the singular beauty unique to the world's capital of fashion. Now international, The Fashion Bomb has several contributors, and seeks to be the global online destination for connoisseurs of style.
